According to actor Bryan Cranston, his car was broken into and a bag, containing a script and iPad, was stolen. According to ABC News, Xavier McAfee was arrested for the crime by the Bernalillo County Sheriff in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

He was found after one of Cranston’s employees was contacted by a confidential informant who heard McAfee allegedly bragging in a bar that he had stolen a bag with a Breaking Bad script inside.

Even though the news is just coming to light now, the burglary actually happened in December, which could be good news for the show. The season finale wasn’t yet filming, so that secret won’t yet be given away. It likely was one of the final shows leading up to the finale though.

Even though the suspected criminal has been arrested, the script hasn’t been recovered.

Breaking Bad star Charles Baker, who plays Skinny Pete, sent a message to the thief asking for the safe return of the script.

"You have the choice to be a better person than that," Baker wrote, according to TMZ. "You've already made a choice to steal from a person (Bryan Cranston) who is loved by millions of people ... don't make it worse by betraying the rest of the cast and crew and fellow fans of the show."
